Foghorn, I am so sorry you and your family is going through this. Part of the problem I see is that we’ve convinced ourselves we can only affirm people, we can’t ever say anything negative for fear of ruining their self esteem.

Too often, therapists just agree with their patients’ own self diagnosis, rather than search for a true root cause. I understand just like doctors during COVID, they must toe the line and spout the dogma or lose their license. How we are controlling our professional class is just Orwellian. I’m a scientist as well and I’m agog at how readily my fellow scientists fell in line with this whole upside down bizarro COVID “science”.

Sadly, young girls are particularly prone to these fads. In my day, it was anorexia. Then it became about sexuality - so many believed they must be lesbian. Then it became transgenderism. I believe if a therapist just worked with them to explore their feelings and where they’re coming from, most would realize they have a different problem altogether.

There’s no way we go from a historical 1% or so of the population to 5-10% in a few years as a true rise in cases. Just like COVID fear, this is driven by the constant talking about it.

I hope your daughter will come back to you some day. Keep engaging and letting her know you love her, no matter what.

Girls. This caught my attention. Why mostly young girls are affected by this aberration? Although I hate to say it, depopulation comes to mind. Why now, though? Seems like the 1300’s plague would have been sufficient to accomplish the task for the Devil.
